Ethics approval and consent to participate
: We obtained research ethics committee approval before patients were enrolled from the Academic Medical Centre Ethics Committee (MEC NL39577.018.12) in the Netherlands on 6 September 2012. The trial was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and national laws, such as the Medical Research involving Human Subjects Act (WMO) in the Netherlands. Potential participants or their legal representatives were provided with written information in their native language explaining the trial, consequences of participation, and a statement that participation was voluntary and refusal to participate would not change medical treatment. Collaborating clinicians at each hospital site recruited participants and obtained written informed consent from the participants or their legal representatives.
